Tóm tắt	Remote non-participant observation is a qualitative data collection technique in which the researcher observes naturally occurring behavior, interaction, or activity from a distance — via video conferencing platforms, live-streamed sessions, online communities, or recorded media — without joining or influencing the setting. The researcher maintains a purely observer role throughout, recording field notes without actively participating in the observed context.	Online non-participant observation is a qualitative data collection technique in which the researcher watches and records naturally occurring behaviour in digital settings — forums, social media platforms, chat groups, comment sections, or online communities — without joining, interacting with, or disclosing their presence to participants. The approach transplants the classical non-participant observation tradition into internet-mediated spaces, enabling study of authentic discourse and interaction as it unfolds organically.
